In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the pursuit of inclusivity knows no borders, ULAP.org stands at the forefront of this transformative journey. On November 18, 2021, a significant milestone was reached with the online Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony between ULAP.org and the Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat University of 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya (LPPM UNTAG Surabaya).
Located in East Java, Indonesia, LPPM UNTAG Surabaya, established in 1985, is a private university with a current student population of 14,000, spanning undergraduates, master’s, and doctoral candidates.
